App Watch — Laravel Client
==========================

[](#app-watch--laravel-client)

A lightweight, zero-config Composer package that automatically collects telemetry from any Laravel application and sends it to your self-hosted [Appswatch](https://github.com/baklysystems/appswatch) monitoring server.

What It Captures
----------------

------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require baklysystems/app-watch-laravel-client
```

Laravel auto-discovery registers the service provider and facade automatically. No manual configuration needed.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=appswatch-config
```

Set these environment variables in your `.env`:

```
APPSWATCH_SERVER_URL=https://your-appswatch-instance.com
APPSWATCH_API_KEY=your-project-api-key
APPSWATCH_ENABLED=true
APPSWATCH_ENVIRONMENT=production
APPSWATCH_RELEASE=v1.2.3
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**Automatic:** Everything is captured automatically once the package is installed and configured.

**Manual / programmatic** (uses the Facade):

```
use Appswatch;

// Log a custom event
Appswatch::log('info', 'User signed up', ['user_id' => 42]);

// Capture an exception manually
try {
    riskyOperation();
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
    Appswatch::exception($e, ['user_id' => $userId]);
}

// Send a custom metric
Appswatch::metric('users.signed_up', 1, 'count', ['plan' => 'pro']);
```

Custom Job Middleware
---------------------

[](#custom-job-middleware)

Wrap any queued job to capture timing and failures:

```
use BaklySystems\AppWatch\Middleware\AppswatchJobMiddleware;

class MyJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function middleware(): array
    {
        return [new AppswatchJobMiddleware];
    }
}
```

Custom Metrics from Your Code
-----------------------------

[](#custom-metrics-from-your-code)

```
use BaklySystems\AppWatch\Collectors\MetricCollector;

MetricCollector::counter('orders.placed', 1, 'count', ['channel' => 'web']);
MetricCollector::gauge('users.active', 150, 'count', ['plan' => 'pro']);
MetricCollector::histogram('api.response_time_ms', 42.5, 'ms', ['endpoint' => '/api/users']);
```
